The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has a regular team of 40+ langurs that are used to scare away other smaller monkeys at public venues throughout the Indian city. Monkeys are among the most visible animals in the city.
Government offices, courts, police stations and hospitals all reportedly are visited by monkey “gangs” from time to time. In 2007, a horde of wild monkeys attacked the deputy mayor of New Delhi. He died after falling from a terrrace while trying to fight off the monkeys.
Monkeys aren’t the only ones causing headaches to visitors at the Commonwealth Games. A snake was captured in the tennis complex and stray dogs have been seen at other venues.
^ erm why is it disgusting? Using langurs to scare other monkeys away is a non-violent and efficient way of keeping them away from the public. Plus, India has also employed thousands upon thousands of police and army officers to guard the general public so don't be focusing on this little team of "security guards" to make such comments against India.
